The leader of the Islah Party, the Yemeni branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamid al-Ahmar, played down the importance of announcing the formation of the new government, according to the Riyadh Agreement, after all the Brotherhood’s attempts to disrupt the agreement and thwart and form a parity government.


Hamid al-Ahmar, residing in Turkey, did not find in forming the government evidence of the seriousness of the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia in implementing the Riyadh Agreement, as it mortgaged the credibility of the implementation of the agreement, with what he called "the permanent return of President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi and all state officials and enabling legitimacy to exercise sovereignty acts." like he said.


Al-Ahmar’s talk about “the president’s return and the empowerment of legitimacy from the acts of sovereignty” comes within the Brotherhood’s allegations of detaining Hadi in Saudi Arabia and preventing him from returning to the country. It is also largely consistent with the Houthi’s speech that tries to portray the role of the Arab coalition in Yemen as an "occupation".

Hamid Al-Ahmar said in a post on his Facebook page: “After the announcement of the new government, and despite the presence of many observations on the ministerial formation, and the breach of the principle of fair representation of all regions, regions and forces, the real test of the alliance’s credibility lies in the sincere, serious and real implementation of the Riyadh Agreement.”


He considered that "the only criterion for proving the credibility and professionalism of implementing the Riyadh Agreement lies in the return of the head of state and all state institutions and officials to a permanent return to the liberated areas, and enabling legitimacy to exercise full and uncompromising acts of sovereignty in the liberated areas" - as he said - an implicit accusation of Saudi Arabia with detention Hadi.

On the other hand, Hamid Al-Ahmar avoided talking, albeit timidly, about the essence of the Riyadh agreement, which is based on unifying the political and military effort of the forces supporting the Arab coalition, to confront the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, where "Hamid" appeared as if he had accepted the legitimacy of Houthi on the north of Yemen.
